Notes

Zachary Quinto began his work on Heroes as a guest star in Seven Minutes to Midnight. Twenty-four episodes later (of which Zachary appeared in fifteen), he was promoted to be a series regular with the airing of Kindred.

In an interview, Zachary Quinto said his dream acting role would be "to play a young Spock in the new Star Trek movie." He later did.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Zachary Quinto compared himself to Sylar: "I would say we both have a desire to be valued. My desire to be valued is manifested in cultivating relationships with my friends and family. Sylar's desire to be valued manifests itself...well, in a murderous rampage."

In an interview with TV Guide, Zachary Quinto said he was thrilled with his Internet Army. Sarmy is an online group which is dedicated to his character Sylar. He says, "Their slogan is, 'Every villain needs a legion of evil supporters.' What's funny is they do great charity work. It's never bad to have an army."

On September 14, 2008, Zachary appeared on Robot Chicken with Seth Green and Breckin Meyer, where he portrayed Sylar in a spoof of Heroes -- his scene involved Sylar mistakenly absorbing a man's "power" of thumb removal (actually a child's trick) but instead ends up with diarrhea.
